Tips & Advice

How can you negotiate a good price with a car dealer?

If you want to negotiate a deal with a car dealer know what you want going in, understand the market value of the car, and have a budget. If a dealer will not negotiate, simply go to their competition (even between dealers of the same brand)--someone will lower the rate to get you into the car. Be sure to shop late in the year or at year-end sales when dealers are purging inventory for the new models. here are also many places to shop online and get a new car without even leaving your home.

Is it better to get a car loan from a bank or a dealer?

It is better to get a loan from the lender that gives you the best deal. Lending institutions are in this to make money and that can fuel fierce competition for your business, which gives you the advantage. Dealerships can offer great financing deals if you look around and shop the competition – and so can banks. Get rates and compare. Chances are good someone will look to beat competitor’s quotes, especially dealerships that are pressured to make sales quotas, often in lieu of actual profit on the vehicle.

How much of a down payment is required to buy a car?

All down payments are different and are determined by several factors, starting with your credit. If you have good credit you might qualify for no down payment. How much is the car? Are you buying or leasing? Is it a new or used car? Is it a dealership or an independent car lot? What are your financial capabilities? All of these will factor into your down payment and future payments. Be aware that if you go with no down payment, your actual monthly payments will be higher. You are still purchasing something over a period of time, and they have to recoup that money somewhere. Some dealers use no down payment as an incentive to lure you in, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you are paying less.

Can you trade in a car that is not paid off?
